Notice:
There are three different types of interactive AMD Socket A painting guides (and a Pinmod guide) in the Workshop section.
Please select the right one for your processor.
If you've 4x L1 bridges and 4x L3 bridges on your CPU, this Interactive AMD Duron and Athlon Thunderbird painting guide is the right one.
If you've 5x L1 bridges and 4x L3 bridges on your CPU, this Interactive AMD Athlon XP painting guide is the right one.
If you've 5x L1 bridges and 5x L3 bridges on your CPU, this Interactive AMD Athlon T-Bred and Barton painting guide is the right one.
Tip:
You can cut the bridges with a very sharp knife, minidrill, dremel or with eg. the stone disc bit
of such a minidrill - look at this example.
Another very good suggestion is to ask a jeweler to cut all bridges for you.
The easiest way closing the connections is to use a 0,5 mm HB pencil but connect no bridges among themselves.

Close all L1 bridges if you want to change the VCore and multiplier via BIOS or Jumper.
Otherway leave all L1 connections open !!!
This guide is not only for mainboards without multiplier / Vcore DIP-switches,
because sometimes it's possible to get higher multiplier settings than allowed by your mainboard manufacturer.
If your mainboard allows all multiplier settings it's only necessary to connect the four L1 bridges.
